To all who-m z'tmay concern."

Be it known that I, MIKE O nsnK', a citizen of Poland, residing atChebo'ygan, in the county of Gheboygan and State ,of

Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trundling Toys, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates useful improvements in trun'dling toys wherein a ground engaging roller journaled laterally of one bottom disk of a cylindrical cage that is journaled on the handle rod for rotating the same during trun'd'ling ofthet'oy.

A further object of the inventionis to provide a trundli'ng toy of the type above set forth, wherein cooperating devicesare carried by the ground engaging wheel and the cage to effect sliding movement of the cage upon the handle rod, a bell being carried by the upper end of the cageto be moved into engagement with pivoted'hammer arms carried by the handle rod for sounding the bell upon sliding", movement of the cage.

With the above general objects in View and others that will appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, thesame consists of then'ovel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawmg and claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts' throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a front elevational viewvof a trundling toy constructed in accordance with the present invention showing the relatively long handle rod supporting the cage, the bell and striker arms carried by the cage and handle rod respectively and the cooperating devices carried by the cage and trundling wheel for effecting sliding move ment of the cage on the handle bar,

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view line IIII of Fig. 1 showing the sliding cage at its limit of downward movement with the bearing roller carried by the lower end thereof positioned in a crotch between adjacent points of the star wheel with the bell carried by the upper end of the cage spaced from the pivoted hammer,

Referring more i" detail there is illustrated a trundling toy embodying arelatively long handle bar 1 carrying a laterally project'i'ng shaft 2 at the lower end thereof-upon which a trun'dling wheel 3 is j'ournaled'. TA star as atfo' to aside face of the intermediate said wheel and the adjacent end of purposes pre'sently 'to appear; thejst'ar 4L including spacedfpo'ifnts 6 and intermediate fragmentary front elevacrotched portions 7 as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

The cage is mounted upon the handle bar.

1, thesame embodying upper and lower disk members 8fan'd9 respectively that are convnected by a plurality ofcagej'bars'lQjposie tioned adjacent the peripheral edgesfthereof, with axial openingsito' permit free-sliding movement of the cage upon they handle bar. Thewall of the opening in the disk member 9 is provided: with a keyrll; that extends into the'handle barl for wheel e a modified form: of the inven- I directly en- 7 the ace'om- ,the disk members '8. ,and 9bein'gj provided a long1tudina'l spline 12 formed in the ad- I jacent portion of the handle bar lwhich will.

permit free sliding movement of the cage, upon the handle bar and prevent rotation thereof, this construction being clearly shown in Fig. 2.

v The connection between the cage member and the star wheel L embodies a block 13 depending from the disk member 9 in the lower end of which a. bearing roller 14 is journaled for riding over the periphery of the star wheel 4: as illustrated, rotation of the trundling wheel 8 effecting rotation of the star wheel 4 for raising and lowering the cage as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 by the, bearing roller l l successively riding over the point 6 of thestar wheel and received in the crotch The upper disk member 8 carries an upwardly directed apertured boss 15 surrounding the central openingin said disk member.

I weight when the bearing roller members I understood that for the passage of the handle bar, and to which a collar 16 carried by a bell 17 is anchored, the bell having a central opening 18 through which the handle bar projects. A collar 19 is anchored to the handle bar 1 at a point slightly above the bell 17 in Fig. 2,'the same carrying a plurality of outwardly directed lugs 20 to which striking hammers 21 are pivoted as at 22, downward movement of the hammers being limited by shoulders 23 formed at the lower outer edges of the lugs 20 as shown in Fig. 5.

In the operation of the device, rotation of the trundling wheel 3 causes the star wheel 4 to rotate therewith effecting sliding or reciprocating movements of the cage upon the handle bar by the bearing roller 14 carried by the cage engaging the periphery of the star wheel as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, upward movement of the cage causingthe bell 17 to strike the hammers 21 to ring the same,the cage falling by its own passes over one of the .points 6 to be received in the crotch portion 7.

In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6, the handle bar 1 has a trundling wheel 3* journaled laterally thereof and in direct engagement with the disk member 9 of the cage that is rotatable upon the handle bar 1, the upper disk 8 of the cage member carrying an upwardly directed collar 24 that is adapted to engage the pin 25 carried by the handle bar for limiting upward movement thereof and also for retaining the same in engagement with the trundling wheel 3 In this form of the invention, the cage is' constantly rotatable by frictional engagement with the periphery of the trundlingwheel 3 ile there are herein shown and described the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be minor changes may be as shown trundling wheel handle bar, and a bearing roller carried by with the periphery;

made therein. without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

What is claimed as new is 1. In a trundling toy, a handle bar, a trundling wheel journaled laterally of the outer end thereof, a cage slidably mounted upon the handle bar, cooperating means care ried by the cage and trundling wheel to effect reciprocating movement of the cage upon rotation of the trundling wheel, and a bell and striker hammers carried by the uppler end of the cage and handle bar respective y.

2. In a trundling toy, a handle bar, a trundling wheel journaled laterally of the outer end thereof, a cage slidably mounted upon the handle bar, cooperating means carried by the cage and trundling wheel to effect reciprocating movement of the cage upon rotation of the trundling wheel, said means including a star wheel of the trundling wheel intermediate the trundling wheel and :the adjacent end of] the handle bar, and a bearlng roller carried by the cage in engagement with the periphery of the star wheel. 3. In a trundling toy,

trundling wheel journaled outer end thereof, a cage slidably mounted upon the handle bar, cooperating means carried by the cage andtrundling wheel to effect reciprocating movement of the cage a handle bar, a

upon rotation of the trundling wheel, said:

means including a star wheel fixed to a face of the trundling wheel intermediate the and the adjacent end of the the cage in engagement of the star wheel, said on the handle bar to thereof.

cage being splined prevent rotation fixed to a face laterally of the In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. I I
